How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will go extinct – or evolve into something new? How will microbes develop further resistance to ...

In honor of Darwin Day Feb. 12, CU Boulder evolutionary biologist Daniel Medeiros explains what we get right and wrong about Darwinism For evolutionary biologists, the big day is imminent. No, not ...

Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection transformed biology and continues to guide modern science, from genetics to medicine and conservation.

Prior to Charles Darwin, many scholars, including Darwin’s grandfather Erasmus Darwin, believed that organisms evolved over time, becoming more complex and better suited to their environment. But the ...

Darwinian thinking has been challenged many times, starting with co-discoverer of natural selection Alfred Russel Wallace, who disagreed with some aspects of Charles Darwin’s arguments, but was ...

The first primate to look like modern humans, Homo sapiens that is, was Homo erectus, an ancient hominin that evolved in Africa about 2 million years ago. H. erectus was taller than the archaic ...

The Modern Evolutionary Synthesis formalizes the role of variation, heredity, differential reproduction, and mutation in population genetics. Here we explore a mathematical structure, based on the ...

Evolution is a fact of nature. Species change over time. The evidence is indisputable. Scientists have actually observed it as species evolved within our lifetimes. Bacteria, for example, have evolved ...

The Freethinker’s student group at Portland State University (PSU) hosted a debate over evolution at PSU on 5-30-31. The debate is now posted online for free ...
